Diary of a Madman; TitaniumTT's see you @ DGRRXI RE-REbuild

***TitaniumTT*** · 04-14-2011, 05:36 PM

The selector grabbed two forks and missed the stopper so it over extended 2 hubs.... all the detent balls popped out, the springs are bent to shit, etc etc etc. It's an easy fix, but the tough part is trying to figure out how it happened. Once Dave figures that out, he can figure out how to make it NOT happen, then all will be well in the land of 6-spd goodness....

What'd you use to wrap your harness? Raychem heat shrink? or something else?

***TitaniumTT*** · 04-14-2011, 10:55 PM

Raychem DR-25 and some 4:1 heatshrink from the DR-25 to the connectors

Yeah, I don't know either. I beat the every living shit outta the trans ALLLLLL day long and it just loved it. Then driving like a little girl on the way home from the auto-x is where it happened. Oh well, what can ya do?

***TitaniumTT*** · 04-14-2011, 11:10 PM

Sooooooo, I'm going to have a very interesting picture up on Saturday morning for all to see, then the fun will really begin. I'm giving myself 10:1 odds

RX SE7EN · 04-14-2011, 11:26 PM

um... brakes?

5 to 1, give yourself a little credit haha.

***TitaniumTT*** · 04-14-2011, 11:34 PM

Nope, not brakes... turbo's should be here tomorrow though (HUGE HUGE THANKS the Bryan @ BNR for busting ass and taking a special trip for me) although I am hopefull that I'll have brakes in my hand in a week.

Actually..... when are you planning on swinging by this weekend? You might be able to see the madness first hand, then you might actually raise me to 20:1

Saturday is going to be another 30 hr marathon and I think I'm going to say fuck the landi this weekend.

MaczPayne · 04-15-2011, 12:26 AM

The tension is building!

Thats right screw the Landi... anyone coming by needs to be either put to work on the FC or put to death for interupting progress, Brian ain't rolling over and givin' up that easy

Too expensive and not sold in the amount I need. (I am not going to pay $425 for 50 feet)

tweiss3 · 04-15-2011, 09:51 AM

I was thinking about it today, the title of this subforum bothers me. Is there ever such a thing as a rotary car build? I'm not sure I belive that. For rotaries, its always only rebuild, or extensive maitnence with new and upgraded parts.

I shall submit this thread as Exhibit 1.
